Psychedelic/Space Rock as per Wooden Shjips and Lunar Dunes.
Eastern influenced dance beats as per Desert Dwellers.

Deep, crisp and clean. Bi-amped rig. 4-string Bass.
Pick or fingers; some Flange or Chorus.
History:
Raised on the Grateful Dead, Santana and the Rolling Stones.
Toured with a lounge act in the 80s.
Did not play in the 90s. Picked the bass back up in 05.
In and out of cover bands since then.
Other:
• Vocals: Baritone/Tenor, moderate range. Able to find harmonies.
I sing lead vocals in a few songs and would like to grow in this area.
• Electronics: I know my way around a mixing board pretty well. I know preamps & power amps; watts, ohms, volts & amps; parametric & graphic EQ; crossovers, frequency response….
• I read chord charts and struggle through tab charts.
